There is a parallel but independent passage in the Clemeiifine
Recognitions (put together in the fourth century). Both the
Homilies and the Recognitions are alike indebted for their main
ideas to 1 Enoch.
CU-m. Recog. iv. 26, 27 (ed. Cotelier, i, p. 543)
' unde colendi idola exordium mundo huic ... lEn. 19^

Lactantius (flor. 320), Imtit. (Migne, P. L. vi. 330-332; Brandt
and LaubmanUj i, pp. 162 sqq.), gives quite a long passage which
for its main features is indebted to 1 Enoch.
